Smile and the world smiles with you

Smile, and the world smiles with you

My hubby, is a considerate driver as are many caravaners, will frequently move to the side of the road to let faster vehicles pass. So this joke will resonate with many of us.


A family was returning home from a week away in their caravan, when the dad noticed the car behind him.
As soon as it was appropriate he moved over to the side to let him pass, but the car behind doesn’t make the most of the opportunity.
The dad soon complains. “Every time I move over to let him pass, he slows down. Yet when I get back on the road, he speeds up and sticks on my tail.”

This goes on for some time.

Then eventually the car behind turns on his police siren and lights, indicating for us to pull over.

Dad pulls over and stops.

The police officer comes up and says “ I would like you to take a breath test, sir. I have been observing you swerving all over the road for the last half an hour.”

Safe travelling & have a great weekend

Home again home again jiggity jig

After a fun filled week with the girls in Cairns, all 6 of us flew home for our youngest 21st birthday as well as his sister’s birthday the day after.

Dean, on the right, decided to dress as a Dutch girl
Dean had set the date & organized a dress up heritage party only to discover that he had to do a compulsory training course in days leading up to the party and the day after. So he had to be super organized as well as get the house back into shape after batch living for four months.

Trip Advisor Advice

Trip Advisor is a great site and one I will continue to read. However be aware not to take all the reviews as a balanced view of the place.

It is a great resource, a travel website that assists customers in gathering travel information, posting reviews and opinions of travel-related content, however keep an open mind.
Think about it. If you are happy, do you always let people know? What about the opposite, if you are dissatisfied with a place, product or service, I bet you are much quicker to say something. Well I think this is reflected on sites like Trip Advisor.

Sunshine days in Cairns

We rolled up to the Cairns airport to pick up our daughter in law and our 2 lovely granddaughters for a week of wonderful family time. They flew in ahead of their father who would join us for 2 nights before all 6 of us hop in a plane and head back home in time for our youngest son’s 21st birthday party. Lots of cuddles, playtime picnics, water parks and the like were on the agenda for the week ahead.
